| I need to write a program that can send and receive messages, but there are times when the program is running, that I don't want to waste processor time watching for messages. Is it possible to switch LNP on and off, while a program is running? I (...) (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| (...) Steve, If no IR traffic (of any kind) is occurring, then there is very little overhead associated with LNP being active. In any event, this trivial amount of overhead (in systime.c) can't be disabled. What you really need to be concerned about (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| (...) Have the changes from the above thread been implemented in a release of BrickOS, yet? (reduced sensor sample rate) I need to D/L a new release, but I don't want to rush, because I know I'll have to make changes to some of my existing code. (...)

| (...) Mark is correct: I made the following two changes which will cause the sensors to be polled at 1KHz: in systime.c; added "bset #0x5,@_AD_CSR:8"; extern void clock_handler(void); ... sys_nohigh: mov.w #0x5a06,r6 ; reset wd timer to 6 mov.w (...)
